BHOP beat Keith Holmes and Felix Trinidad in 2001.
GGG beat Danny Jacobs and drew with Canelo in 2017.
Who wins ?
Close one.
Don't normally fence sit but I wouldn't count out the draw.
Hopkins 2001 v GGG 2017
Re: Hopkins 2001 v GGG 2017
Both were kings of comparably weak eras, however, Golovkin was dethroned in a way more disputable fashion. In addition to that, Golovkin simply was a better boxer, with a superior technical abilities, power and workrate. Golovkin would outwork Hopkins to a comfortable dec.

Hopkins would nullify him and win 8 or 9 rounds with pot shots.

As much as I like GGG, I think Hopkins would've won a decision. It'd of been competitive, but it'd of been unanimous.

Ggg cuts the ring off and has better footwork than tito. Plus he has a great jab.
Re: Hopkins 2001 v GGG 2017
Hopkins at his best vs Golovkin not at his best. I'd favor Hopkins by a small margin.
